Please Send Prayers & Positive Thoughts For Ziggy's Spay -Updated!!!

I everyone. I just wanted you to know that my baby Ziggy Stardust is going to be spayed this Friday. She can't have food or water after 10pm on Thursday evening and I have to drop her off between 6:30am-8am on Friday and pick her up from 3-5pm on Friday. She's having this done at my local Humane Society so I hope that everything will go well. They use dissolving sutures internally and then glue her on the outside so she doesn't have to go back to have any stitches removed.

Has anyone ever had this type of spay done to their cat? If so what should I expect? I'm sure she'll still be groggy when I bring her home. I'm setting up a cage for her so she can rest and hopefully stay as quiet as possible without any of her siblings trying to play rough with her. I need lots of prayers and positive thoughts being sent her way. I'll be working on Friday but I know that I won't be able to stop thinking about her. Thanks in advance.

Awww Prayers for Ziggy Stardust. I am sure she will be fine, but us purrents always get so worried about our babies!

The vet I worked for used dissolving stitches, and I love them. Just dont let her chew and lick TOO much. My M.E had dissolving stitches(they will also use glue to seal it shut), and all was well, and no repeat visit which was even better for her. Let us know how it goes! *HUGS* for you and Ziggy

We are sending thoughts and good wishes to Ziggy and hope a speedy recovery will come your way. Don't worry Ziggy you'll be running around playing with your sibings and having a great time pretty soon.
Kisses...Kate, Jack & Sunny

I did it three times this season with girlies! Don't be surprised if she hits the ground running and acts like nothing has happened.
If she is groggy, no big deal there either. Both are quite normal reactions.
If they are alert, I give them a spoonful of food at 7pm, night of the spay and a small meal at midnight, even though it says no food till next day. Some are just so hungry!

That's the only kind we ever have done! They use these on the ferals since you can't bring them back in for removal. Pearl had this same type. Everything will be just fine! We would've had her done already for you, but you know the vet suggested waiting since she was so small. Good luck little, beautiful Ziggy..we'll be thinking of you! Please keep me updated Tracey!

Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

Of course you'll worry! That's what meowmie's do! Dear little Ziggy Stardust with the amazing eyes will be in our prayers.
